Its grant-funded projects encompass a wide range of critical initiatives, such as operating the Deaths in Custody Reporting Act Technical Assistance Center, conducting research on domestic violence survivors' financial assistance models, supporting the Center for Victim Research, performing national surveys on parole reentry services and victim service providers, and investigating technology-facilitated intimate partner violence. The organization frequently collaborates with research partners like the Urban Institute, Research Triangle Institute, University of Massachusetts Lowell, and the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence. These projects consistently focus on improving data collection, enhancing research methodologies, providing technical assistance, developing toolkits, and generating evidence-based insights to support victim services, criminal justice reform, and policy development.
